Key stats: A two-year starter for the Seminoles, Brooks earned second-team all-ACC honors in 2013 after tallying 56 tackles, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

How he fits: Brooks might not have the potentially elite coverage range of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, or the punishing hits of Calvin Pryor, but he's one of the draft's better all-around safeties.

If you watch the film, Brooks is frequently around the ball. He's smart, quickly diagnoses plays and is aggressive coming downhill in run support.

Brooks served as a captain on a national championship team in 2013 and plays the game with a confidence befitting of a leader. He's proficient in coverage and has a skill set suitable for backing up both safety spots, while offering immediate contributions on special teams.

Quotable: "Just how versatile he is. He's able to come down and guard guys with ease. He's physical, too, and he's just an all-around player. That's how I kind of model my game on. I definitely keep my nickel skills and cover skills like that, being physical." -- Brooks on modeling his game after Earl Thomas
